    TA01NSN Front sight blade adjustment

    Should i just secure it in a vise ( via its mount or body?) and tap with a brass punch? Or is there a sight pusher i can find?

    From Trijicon's website:

    For the front sight, first remove the TA51 mount that comes equipped with your scope. Then place the scope in a vice with the windage adjuster (the adjuster on the side of the scope and not the top) facing towards you. When placing the ACOG in the vice, use padding or another soft buffer to minimize surface scratches. Because of the amount of force generated with the use of a vice, caution should be exercised when tightening. Over-tightening the vice may lead to damage to the ACOG housing, adjustment caps or lenses which may result in the loss of the ACOG’s airtight seal.

    Once the ACOG has been properly placed in the vice, using a 3/16 nylon punch, tap the front sight away from you and out of the dovetail. Tap at the base of the sight (near where the sight meets the top of the ACOG housing). Do not use excessive force when tapping the front sight otherwise you may damage the sight.

    Both the rear and front sights can be reattached to the ACOG if properly removed. Simply screw the rear sight back into place and tap the front sight back into the dovetail groove.

      Now I have a question.

      Why does the front sight on top of the TA01NSN look crooked?

      I'm thinking there is a good reason for it, but I cannot figure it out.

      Someone please enlighten me.

        It doesn't look "crooked" to me... it may be off to one side...

        Where did you buy that unit? Brand new? or Used?

        You can try to re-adjust the front-sight post, just like how you adjust pistol's rear sights.

        Or you can contact Trijicon and send it back, they will fix it for you.
